]]>Nissan chose the Miami Auto Show this past weekend for the world debut of the 2017 Rogue Hybrid and its gasoline counterpart crossover SUV.

In addition to the new gasoline-electric powertrain, the 2017 Rouge gets a freshened exterior and interior along with added features, and is expected to push aside the Altima sedan to become Nissan’s top-selling US model next year.

When the Rogue was unveiled, José Muñoz, executive vice president of Nissan Motor Co. and chairman of Nissan North America said, “Following three straight years of consecutive growth, we project Rogue will approach 300,000 units in the current fiscal year, nearly doubling sales since 2012. For 2017, we’re turning up the heat on the competition with enhancements designed to keep Rogue at the top of compact SUV buyers’ wish lists.”

The Rogue Hybrid combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine producing 141 horsepower with a 40 hp electric motor that’s powered by a lithium-ion battery. The one-motor/two-clutch design has a total system output of 176 hp.

Two trim levels will be offered, SV and SL. Front-wheel drive models will arrive first followed by all-wheel drive offerings.

For 2017, Nissan refreshed the exterior with the addition of the company’s V-motion grille flanked by new quad-element headlamps up front, while the backside receives new taillamps and a revised bumper.

]]>Nissan is having a good first quarter of the year with its small, fuel efficient and electric vehicles, and scored an all-time April record.

Nissan said sales of the Nissan Leaf set an April record, increasing 7.8 percent to 2,088. Nissan has seen sales of Leaf increase 33 percent so far in 2014 with a year to date sales total of 7,272 units.

The Nissan Group announced total U.S. sales for April 2014 of 103,934 units, an increase of 18.3 percent over the prior year and an April record.

The company added the Nissan Division also set an April record at 94,764 sales in the month, an increase of 18.5 percent. This marks a monthly record for the Nissan division in 13 of the last 14 months.

Sales of Rogue crossovers also established an April record at 15,066, said Nissan, an increase of 26.6 percent.

Meanwhile, the Versa also set an April sales record at 10,481, up 46.5 percent and Sentra sales increased 31.2 percent to 14,080 vehicles.

The small Juke CUV also set an April record at 3,795 units, up 55.2 percent.

]]>Nissan’s Leaf electric vehicle is breaking sales record, with September being the seventh record month in a row.

Nissan said the Leaf set a September sales record finishing the month with 1,953 deliveries, an increase of 99 percent year over year.

That makes for seven straight months of record sales.

Once again, Atlanta was the No. 1 Leaf market in the U.S., as electric vehicle sales spread from the West Coast to a new wave of markets. As it stands, Atlanta has a five-day supply of Leaf, which compares very well in an industry where a 30 days supply of a vehicle is considered good.

The Raleigh-Durham area also showed significant sales increases bumping into the Top 10 markets for the Leaf, and sales were up in all major Texas markets.

Overall, Nissan U.S. sales in September totaled 86,868, down 5.5 percent from last year’s total of 91,907.

“September was a unique month with fewer selling days than the prior year with the Labor Day weekend falling into August sales reporting for the first time in several years,” said Fred Diaz, divisional vice president, Sales and Marketing, Service and Parts, Nissan U.S.A. “While this skewed year-to-year comparisons we are optimistic that strong auto sales will continue into the fourth quarter.”

Nissan also said Versa deliveries increased 9.5 percent over the prior year to 8,776, with sales of the all-new 2014 Versa Note beginning to pick up momentum. Versa continues to be the leader among subcompacts for 2013.

Sales of Rogue crossovers totaled 11,353 in September as Nissan prepares to launch the all-new, 2014 Rogue later this year.

Nissan declared it is conducting a special reservation program for the all-new Rogue, which will be produced at the company’s Smyrna, Tenn. manufacturing plant.

The company also announced recently it will be selling the previous generation Rogue as the Rogue Select, starting in January.

]]>Nissan announced that the current-generation Rogue CUV will continue in the company’s American lineup for the immediate future, alongside the new generation Rogue.

Renamed the Rogue Select, it is slated to go on sale in January 2014 at a base M.S.R.P. of less than $20,000 (USD) at Nissan dealers U.S.-wide.

Nissan said the Rogue Select complements the completely redesigned Rogue, which debuted on September 10.

The strategy behind this move is to satisfy demand for this popular compact sports utility vehicle, currently second-highest seller in Nissan’s lineup, as well as provide customers an additional choice in the segment.

In 2012, Rogue sold 142,349 units of the original Rogue in the U.S., while in 2013 sales have increased 16 percent through August.

“As the compact SUV segment is becoming very specialized, there is an opening for a low-cost, high-content offering, which is a gap that Rogue Select will fill,” said Fred Diaz, divisional vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. “Rogue Select will allow Nissan to continue its strong performance in the segment, which will only get stronger once the all-new, U.S.-built 2014 Rogue goes on sale.”

This strategy is not new for Nissan. Of memory, it had done so with the Sentra compact in the early ‘90s, selling a previous generation as the Sentra classic alongside the new generation.

The all-new Rogue is assembled in Smyrna, Tenn., while the current-generation vehicle is built in Kyushu, Japan, where the Rogue Select will also be assembled.

More detailed information about Rogue Select, including equipment levels and pricing, will be available closer to its on-sale date.

]]>Nissan debuted today the all-new 2014 Nissan Rogue CUV, the company’s second-best selling model in the U.S., best-selling model in Canada and one of a family of new Nissan global compact crossovers.

The European version, called the Nissan X-TRAIL, made its world debut during a press conference at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier today.

As a high-volume global growth product built on the new jointly developed Nissan/Renault Common Module Family (CMF) platform architecture, it is projected by Nissan to be available in 190 countries around the world.

The new Rogue is scheduled to go on sale at Nissan dealers in the U.S. in November and in Canada in December.

Starting price in the U.S. will be at $22,490 USD for the Rogue S front-wheel drive model; Canadian pricing is to be announced at a later date.

In anticipation of strong consumer interest and demand for the second-generation Rogue, a special pre-sale reservation program launched today at www.nissanusa.com. Through this program, buyers will receive a $250 gift card when they sign up to be one of the first owners of this all-new vehicle (upon purchase of the vehicle). A special $239 USD Rogue Reservation Program lease is also being offered.

“There is growing demand for compact SUVs around the world due to their user-friendly combination of right-sized exteriors, flexible interior utility and low environmental impact,” said Fred Diaz, divisional vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. “With this exciting, innovative, all-new design, Nissan is aggressively targeting increased sales and share in every market. By sharing development costs, while adapting powertrains, designs and equipment offerings for each specific region, Nissan has been able to add features and technologies while keeping prices affordable. No matter the specific market nameplate, it’s a guaranteed winner.”

Nissan said the 2014 Rogue’s new exterior design provides a premium, high-quality look and feel with available LED headlights, standard LED signature daytime running lights, heated outside mirrors with integrated turn signals and rear spoiler. Also available are a power panoramic moonroof and a power rear liftgate.

For the first time, the Rogue will offer an optional 3-row/7-passenger seating setup. Among the many interior highlights are the Divide ‘n Hide Cargo System providing 18 adjustable variations (two-row models) between the cargo and occupant areas.

According to Nissan, the class-exclusive EZ FlexÔ Seating System includes a reclining 40/20/40-split 2nd row seat and 2nd row legroom of 963 mm (37.9 inches) and 228 mm (9.0 inches) of fore/aft adjustability.

“Rogue’s bold, dynamic new styling is going to generate tremendous attention,” said Diaz. “And once buyers take a look inside at the roomy, premium interior and experience the long list of affordable technologies, we know they’ll be delighted.”

Every 2014 Nissan Rogue will be equipped with a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine rated at 170-horsepower and 175 pound-foot of torque. Also standard are an advanced Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), and 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and a choice of All-Wheel Drive system or front-wheel drive. An added level of safety-oriented dynamic technologies, featuring Active Trace Control, Active Engine Braking and Active Ride Control are also available.

Nissan said fuel economy is significantly improved over the 2013 model, but specific data is to be announced at a later date.

The new Rogue carries Nissan’s “PURE DRIVE” badge, signifying Nissan’s commitment to developing more environmentally friendly transportation for every market.

The 2014 Nissan Rogue is offered in three models, S, SV and SL, and will be assembled in Smyrna, Tennessee.
